So lately I have become a little bored with our home and wanted a little switch up. So I pretty much have re-done the whole main level, and our bedroom is next... More pics to come. Enjoy




I had to hurry and share this adorable nursery I was able to do for my neighbors that just had a little baby boy. I only have a couple pics from my phone but I will try and post more as soon as I get them. It turned out so dang cute and so boy! Welcome to the world little Blaze! Enjoy...


So fun More to come on this little mans room! You're only seeing half of it!

Today's post is about my aunt (my favorite) aunt as she would say. She has a beautiful home in Pleasant View that she built it a few years ago. She put every upgrade imaginable and it really is just a home that you walk into and say wow. So I started talking to her the other day about her home and noticed there wasn't really anything on the walls and everything was just kind of plain. I told her to let me come and give it a little lovin. She agreed and wow what a transformation... After we were all done she started crying she could not believe what a few accessories and rugs could do to a home. I was so happy with how it turned out. She called me the next day and said she felt like she was living in a beautiful mansion ha ha. I'm so happy that she gave me the opportunity to fix her home up a little bit, it was so much fun to brighten her day and give her that little pick me up that she needed. Here are some before and after pics from this project! Enjoy!
Family Room BEFORE (not a great picture)


Family Room AFTER (we are also getting rid of the glass doors and having solid wood on the entertainment and putting doors where the TV and TV stand is. It will look much cleaner and less cluttered. Pics to come from that as well.
We added a couple accent chairs and drapes which I love. The blue is so fun!
This wall makes me laugh a little bit. A tiny shelf and a Koo Koo clock... Her kids hated this wall and begged me to destroy that shelf...
So I did. I love everything about this wall now.

I wish I had before pics of this if I find them I will update but this is her entry was that I completely re-did. Before there was just a tiny table and that's pretty much it.
We are putting pictures of her grand kids and children in all of these picture frames. I cant wait to see this all done and I will definately post pictures... SO FUN
Last but certainly not least.. Her porch. I love a good decorated porch and this one turned out so dang cute. Such a good way to give people a little glimpse of your home on the inside. LOVE!
Fun chair and pillow
I am kind of obsessed with this mirror!

Hi I'm Karlie! I am a mother of a beautiful little boy named Krew and a wife of an amazing man named Tom. I have been blessed with an incredible, and happy life. I have always been able to stay at home with our little one which I love, but I have always known I wanted to do more. I would always sit and try to think of anything I could do, a small business I could run, or some kind of part time job that would work for me. They all came to the same conclusion... I don't want to give up to much time with my son and husband. Then one day it hit me, I have always loved decorating and had an eye for it. I had never even really thought about actually doing it, because I have been loving being at home with my baby. Honestly I think the biggest thing was lack of confidence in myself to know I can do it. So one day My friend was saying she needed help with her 14 year old daughters room I instantly jumped in and said let me do it, and they did. They gave me a budget I went shopping and nailed it! It felt good to finally be doing something I love and get excited about. Since then I have done 3 homes, working on 4 and a nursery. I have also put on a bridal shower, a baby shower, and birthday parties. I am so excited with this new journey I have been on. I actually have a job that I can do without taking away from my family! WOHOO I couldn't be more thrilled! Here are some pictures of some of the projects I have done. Enjoy!
